I just love the way the tiger turned out. He took me about 1 1/2 months last year while I was basically bed ridden and couldn't do anything else. The Earth and animal one I worked on off and on over a period of around 6 years.
One thing I have never mastered is the french knot. So these have been sitting around for a year waiting for me to get around to mastering that stitch. Thankfully my super sweet cousin Lori also cross stitches and does a great french knot. So she was nice enough to do the finishing touches on the pieces for me so that I can finally get around to having them framed.
Thanks Lori!

Hi. I'm visiting your blog because you left a comment on mine! Thanks for dropping by and I hope you come again. I used to cross stitch and made many, many projects back in the day, so I'm quite impressed with your "peaceable kingdom" project. (That's what it reminds me of) I think I might go get my last project and see what I can do about finishing it. Thanks!! And may I put a link to your blog on mine?
It was fun to do the french knots-embroidery is my first love and I never do it any more. I had a great time at my retreat, I learned basics but did not make a finished project!
I am also returning your visit.
Your cross stitch is gorgeous. I used to do cross stitch many years ago but nothing even comes close to the beauty of yours.
I love the tiger.
I wish I could see to do cross stitch again.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
